Training for tests!

[TheGlide]

Fabbie you need to sort your life out man ..
your just 16 .....

[fabbe92]

Thank you my lif is just fine and sorted out. The flying bit has been tricky these last few months but now it is solved and I am enjoying my PPL training.

I am raising above these idiotic comments and I donīt care. But it just pisses me of when I try to be as mature as possible and wright a appologize letter and the first response is a dumb ass comment for me.
And it allso kills me that the smallest misstake I do, everyone jumps at me. But when MR captain that is older than me and has been here for a while makes a totally unacceptable comment, no one cares and people tell me to calm down.

Sorry for calling you a gilr but you said that you are not much older than me, then you are a gilr to me hehe Female sounds fine tough.


And please do me a favor mr admin, could you lock this thread now so there will be no more stupid comments.

Chhers!

[mtanz0]

I was only joking about the mental comment man, don't take it seriously. I'm irish, we have notoriously bad taste in humour.

[fabbe92]

Okey. I appresicate you saying so. Then its fine, but its very hard for me to detect sarcasm when your face is hidden behind a computer screen

[Vems]

Been ages since I was called a girl too. My mates used to say that I should have been a guy, I never liked dolls when I was little, cars.. well that was fun. Aeroplanes.. I was crazy about them.. and quite a few years later, still love them.

Fabbe, you're getting there.

You have also mixed up me and Whirlygig.. two females.
Also, you'll still get stupid comments if your own posts are immature, so think about what you're writing.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Now come on, I think fabbe may have learned, there's no need to keep rehashing this and being confrontational with him on this.

Before this thread ends I wanna give my 2 pennies!

I am coming up 18, so not to far off you fabbe. When I was 16 I posted a similar thread to a couple of yours, and got some very nice, informative replies. It didnt turn ugly luckily. Most said get your head down. Concentrate on work and come back when your older and have a vague idea of what you want to do.

So, here I am, 2 years on being predicted AAAB in Maths, Further Maths, Geography and Physics, respectively. Geography is great for colouring in, will keep me entertained on the long hauls if that ever comes. I am due to complete my A levels this June, and get the results by August.

I was naive when I first joined with your rose coloured glasses on. Glaring at OAA and the likes and their shiny courses. Yeah they are fantastic, and generally do give you a marginally better chance of getting into the RHS, but by marginal its perhaps a percent or so. Their marketing is some of the best in the world. Its so appealing, looks so god darn brilliant.

Anyway, my point. Your life is your life. We are just here to advise. Listen to these people, they are our role models, they have been there and done it and have the badge to show.

What you should do is what is best for yourself. If this means waiting and going for OAA then do it. If this means getting FREE training then do it. As you said if it means going modular then do it. Whichever way you go, essentially you will end up in the right seat for you. Sometimes you think time works against you. It does. Always. I mean, ATPL's take months of work, and the course content is huge. It looks daunting. Scary almost. But thats to come. Probably during whichever course you do, you will be thinking some bad thoughts about if its for you. If only time sped up then they would be gone by tomorrow. Whichever way you end up going we will back you up though. As long as you remain yourself behind a keyboard.

I mean IMO being patient is the key. I remember posting here age 16, and it feels like yesterday seeing all the pretty yellow colours. If all goes well I should commence some form of training in about 6 months. Whats 6 months? Nothing.

I feel like I have rambled anyway. If this is utter gob****e then sorry!

[James D]

This has got to be one of the funniest threads I've read for some time. Reckon it should be made a sticky.

[nick14]

Seconded,

It could serve as a useful pointer for other young'uns

[Rugbyears]

fabbe - head up chap, as is life, you will always find those who are happy to follow the crowed and become a bully! You need to rise above it and not fuel comments.

I suggest you simply change your username and start over; this thread will soon become obsolete.

I suggest you heed 1mag1n3 advice!!!

Best of luck with your training

A nice bloke checked my eyes (the longest bit)

(GATWICK CLASS 1)


Did anyone else find it hard NOT to laugh when he was moving around your face?
Numerous amounts of times I almost burst out laughing when he had that stupid headpiece thing on..

[preduk]

I remember when I was 16 also, I did the exact same thing. Pissed off a load of people making up stuff I didn't know. You need to understand that you are a kid, you haven't even had a full time proper job yet.

You need to get a grip with life, saying all this "I don't think about girls, just planes" that makes you look sad and pathetic (which I'm sure you're not). You need to have a balanced life, go out enjoy yourself and keep the flying going but don't let it go over your head and don't think you are better than everyone else because you will come crashing down.

When you get into the aviation business, and you are sitting next to a captain or instructor who has 20,000+hours and 30 years of experience you will realise you know jack sh*t about flying and how much more you have to learn.

Enjoy life, stopped getting so stressed and offended have chill! From reading your post you come across as very self centred, please don't do this. Enjoy your friends, learn from your friends experiences don't be a cocky git that things he is better than his friends.

I've University educated and my best mate is a bus driver with no qualifications at all, but thats his path in life and I'm not going to judge him for that.

[DaveD]

He's young, give him a break guys.

It's not bullying I agree, and he should take onboard what's being said, but he's still only 16 years old and obviously very naive.

Fabbe, the best thing you could do, is read these posts and take in some things that are being said. I must stress if you have an opportunity to take free training then do it, don't even concider anything else.

Enjoy life, don't let it consume you. I have an immense passion for flying and always will do, but don't let it take over your life, enjoy the road to becoming a pilot!


Any my previous post? Anyone remember the EYE GUY at your Gatwick medical?

[fabbe92]

I have learned a lot of things in thes 3 months! I am learning every minute. And I am of course still a kid and I have no experience. Of course I donīt know much. Before I began here I thought I would go to Oxford and then work for BA directly.

Today I am hoping to get in to the swedish school which gives you a free CPL.

Before I jonined pprune I wanted to work for BA,LH,AF or KL because those were the best airlines becuase they where the largest cariers whith the best PR and the best pilot salary. Its easy to think that they are the best airlines. I donīt know how it is to work for an airline but I am still aiming for a big carrier. But I am not aiming that much for the really big legacy carriers anymore. I am a internationall person and I really would like to live outside Sweden when I grow up, for a few years to see how it is. But now I know that you could be a darmn good pilot and work for an airline that isnīt BA. Maybe you find it more fun to work for a smaller airline. For the moment I donīt know if I even are goeing to get a job in Europe when I am done whith the training. But if I am lucky I will get a job with a small regional carrier maybe in Austria or something similliar. Then When I have the hours maybe I can get a job whith a carrier like Austrian, Swiss or Brussels Airlines. I would be really happy to work for a carrier like Brussels Airlines even tough they are not a big legacy carrier. But for the moment I want to get through school, enjoy my life and enjoy my pilot training.

Cheers

fabbe92,

I know you want to fly the big birds, but trust me the guys that got there at the moment started off flying the small aircraft. Look at Barbar Harmer (BA Concorde pilot) she started off as a hair dresser and then started flying for a small commuter airline. It wasn't the school or the type of trainign she took, it's that she was a sh*t hot pilot and got where she went because of hard work.

Work hard, enjoy your life and you will get there one day! Your determination to have a better life for yourself is great, just don't waste it

[Vems]

Fabbe, your last post actually shows we're getting to you somehow. GOOD!

I hope everything works out for you well, just keep working hard, enjoy life and flying. Don't study 24/7 for flying too, learn when you feel like it, try and get your exams passed at the highest rates, take everything in slowly. You'll get there.


Good luck!

Vems.

[fabbe92]

Yeah thats what I will do! Unfortunatley I have to study 24/7 in order to pass my school exams with high grades. But when I donīt feel motivated enogh to study aviation. I donīt do it because I will not learn anything. I will study everything slowly untill I know it inside out, Then I will take all the exames. I have another flying lesson tomorrow. My first takeoff every!! So this will be so much fun! Thank you guys so very much!

[Celtic Pilot]

now you've the idea fabbe.... keep up the motivation though,, no lack of it in you obviously!!!! dont dnt convey it as cockyness though and you will not go wrong in the aviation industry!!!!

Best of luck with it all!!!!!!!!!!!

[Reluctant737]

Fabbe,

You remind me of one of those bugs that run around a crowded room that nobody can quite manage to stamp on.

Best regards, Ad

[Adios]

What is the point of posts like the one directly above? It's just the sort that winds Fabbe up again, is totally uncalled for and frankly, sets the profession in a bad light. Fabbe obviously got the point some time ago and is responding better, so it would be nice to see all of the so called professionals do the same and back off from kicking him when he’s already laying on the ground counting his remaining teeth.

Fabbe,

Take a look at this thread started by a 10 year old for an example of how to set the tone so you get help instead of sarcasm: http://www.pprune.org/professional-p...-year-old.html
